"Elizabeth was one of the most remarkable women I've known. For five years, she turned a devastating illness into her passion," said Bill Kilbride. "She maintained her spirit to win even through her final days. We learned from Elizabeth. She led us. She inspired us. She has made each of us better. She has left her indelible mark on Mohawk and Karastan and each of our associates. All our thoughts and support go to her family and especially her son Oliver."
Miller was a native of Levitown, PA. Beginning in 1993, she played a key role in driving the design direction of rugs at American Rug Craftsmen, Mohawk Home and, for the past eight years, Karastan Rugs.
After being diagnosed with cancer in 2005, she worked tirelessly with various foundations and organizations, as well as with other executives working in the home textile industry.
As part of her work to promote breast cancer awareness, Miller founded"Home For The Cure" in support of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to raise contributions and awareness.
